(Flash Review)

Much like eating mac & cheese, the powder cheese kind, it fills the tummy while being satisfying yet is far from a tablecloth restaurant. This is not a quality movie yet is slightly enjoyable and at least isn't afraid to own its peculiar mix of genres. Is this a bank robbery AND a chic flic with a comedic undertone? That's a unusual combo. The plot revolves around a couple of bank robbers dubbed "the sleep over robbers" because their approach is to hold bank managers hostage at home and sleep over at the house so they can go into the bank with the manager before it opens to rob it while avoiding the alarms. Then an unhappy married woman enters the scene and enjoys the ride the guys are on as she is finally able to feel alive. Cue 'light' love triangle humor and drama. Will the dual love interest compromise the bank heists? Which one will land the lady? This is mildly entertaining, mildly humorous, mildly clever and mildly memorable.
